Lady of Brass (Method of the Kill #2) by Jonathan Maloney

Bartholomew Bartleby continues his journey towards making the unknown known at the side of the dreaded Jean Reynard, the last monster hunter of England. As a part of the mysterious Society of the Hound, he must walk the narrow and bloody line between two very different worlds – and both are a threat to him.

In the midst of learning about this new and frightening reality, he and the other members of the Society are brought face to face with a horror born out of tragedy; a life cut short, brought alive once more, with terrible implications of what it might lead to, a mystery particularly close to the enigmatic figure known as Adam - the giant, walking corpse with a voice of music and a heart of sorrow.

A new life enters their world, innocent and pure and terrible - the mysterious Lady of Brass.

"Lady of Brass is an incredible, utterly consuming experience deeper into what lurks in the fantastic, shadowed corners of Victorian England. An intricately woven tale of suffering, sacrifice and of tragedy so profound that we cannot help but feel as though it clutches at our own heart."

"I found the story to be an enjoyable if occasionally heart-wrenching pastiche of the works it is inspired from - focusing around the themes of loss, grief and trauma, but just as importantly around love, acceptance and forgiveness."
